empire wars

Chapter 29
"If Patriarch Gu wants to buy it, you can just buy it with gold and silver. One tael of silver can buy five catties of energy gene rice. If it is gold, one tael of gold can be exchanged for sixty catties."

Qin Yuan thought for a while and said, the rich families in the city basically received two copies of genetic rice.

Qin Yuan's meaning is naturally obvious. Genetic rice is more delicious than royal tribute rice. These big families will buy some more or less.

Don't look at the thousands of tons of genetic rice, but it won't last long at all. Some gold and silver treasures must be replaced to ensure that there is a steady stream of resources purchased in the main world.

In the Lie Han Dynasty, one thousand copper coins equaled one tael of silver, and ten taels of silver equaled one tael of gold.

In the main world, one tael of gold, that is, fifty grams of gold, can be exchanged for 25000 federal currency, and for silver, one tael of silver can be exchanged for 800 federal currency at most.

Therefore, gold can be exchanged for more federal currency.

And a catty of energy gene rice is only ten federal coins.

If it is exchanged for silver, the profit will be 15 times, and if it is gold, the profit will be 40 times.

As for the food in the other world, a catty of rice costs about ten cents, and if it is coarse grain, the price is even cheaper.

One tael of silver can buy a hundred catties of ordinary rice, and five catties of genetic rice.

As long as you have tasted the taste of genetic rice, especially Baiwei genetic rice, I believe many people are willing to buy some genetic rice.

Even if it is not a daily staple food, it is still acceptable to buy something to eat every now and then.

"How can this be possible!"

Gu Yun stood up and said angrily.

Qin Yuan looked at him in astonishment. What kind of madness is this? Is the price of genetic rice too high?It shouldn't be.

"Ahem, does the county magistrate know how much the Jiangnan tribute rice sells for a catty?"

Gu Yunyun seemed to have lost his composure, and said angrily.

"Appreciate further details."

"If the tribute rice is purchased from the Jiangnan area, it will cost at least two taels of silver per catty. If it is transported to Luodu and sent to the palace, it will cost ten taels of silver per catty."

Gu Yunyun explained, "Shenxian rice is more delicious than Jiangnan tribute rice, with an excellent taste, and it is easier to fill the stomach than meat, and its value is more than ten times better than tribute rice. How can it be sold cheap?"

"Oh, according to Patriarch Gu's wishes, the Immortal Rice must be sold at least ten taels a catty."

Qin Yuan pondered for a while, and felt that it made sense. There is only one family of genetic rice. Even if people in this world want to cultivate genetic rice, it is impossible to do so.

"Of course, I think the price of ten taels is even less."

Gu Yunyun said excitedly, "You know, the most indispensable thing in this world is rich people. Naluodu alone has gathered most of the world's wealth. If you transport the fairy rice to Luodu, let alone ten taels, it will be 20 yuan. There are also a lot of people rushing to buy both."

"If the county magistrate is willing to hand over the fairy rice business to me, it will definitely bring more than ten times the profit to the magistrate."

"After this year, there will be hundreds of millions of real gold and silver. Let alone war horses, it will be no problem to buy the entire Northern Qiang people."

"With the transaction of immortal rice, countless wealth can be gathered. In the future, the county magistrate can recruit as many people as he wants, and buy as many horses as he wants."

Gu Yunyun talked so much that Qin Yuan was taken aback for a while.

Gu Yunyun really deserves to be a businessman and a profiteer. Originally, Qin Yuan only planned to sell one tael a catty of genetic rice, but Gu Yunyun said it was ten taels a catty, and the price of Baiwei genetic rice was even higher.

But if you think about it carefully, it is true that, as Gu Yun said, genetic rice is an epoch-making product in the era of interstellar civilization in the main world.

To the people of the other world, it is simply a fairy thing, just like the rumors in the city, this is the real fairy rice.

"It's good, but if you do this, will you be an enemy?"

Qin Yuan murmured, although it can earn a lot of wealth, the genetic rice is also a food with extraordinary value and a strategic resource.

"Don't worry about the county magistrate. Immortal rice is so expensive that it can be enjoyed as a luxury at most. How can it be used as military rations? Wouldn't it be better to use ordinary rice and coarse grains?"

Speaking of this, Gu Yunyun said quietly. "Not every power master is like the county magistrate, who is willing to give the immortal rice to the soldiers for three meals a day."

Gu Yunyun complained a little, this is simply extortion, what he eats is not rice, but real gold and silver.

"Immortal Rice, Immortal Rice, it is indeed possible to sell some Immortal Rice, this matter is entirely up to you, for the first batch, [-] catties will be ordered first, and every subsequent batch of Immortal Rice must be sold with my approval. "

Qin Yuan thought for a while before opening his mouth.

"Also, Shenxian rice can only be bought with gold or silver, I don't need copper coins or banknotes."

"By the way, grain can be exchanged for immortal rice. The price is [-]% of gold and silver. That's right, we can exchange grain for immortal rice."

A desperate plan emerged in Qin Yuan's mind.

The vast majority of food in the world, or wealth, is in the hands of aristocratic families, not ordinary people.

And those who are able to buy genetic rice are almost from aristocratic families, or wealthy officials. Therefore, as long as they are willing to buy, especially exchange grain for genetic rice, Qin Yuan can gather a large amount of grain in a short period of time.

Even if you can't use it yourself, it will make them cut off food, which will affect the future pattern of princes' struggle for hegemony.

Build high walls, accumulate grain widely, and slow down the king. The importance of grain is self-evident.

"hiss"

Gu Yunyun listened, and there was nothing ahead. After all, gold and silver things are the most valuable in troubled times, and at the same time, they are also things outside the body.

It can be heard that exchanging grain for immortal rice is simply a way to draw salary from the bottom of the pot.

If one catty of genetic rice is sold at the price of ten taels of silver, it is equivalent to exchanging one catty of genetic rice for nine hundred catties of ordinary rice.

I'm afraid it won't take much, most of the food in the entire land of Shenzhou will be gathered into Qin Yuan's hands.

As for ordinary people, they can't afford it or change it.

But for those rich businessmen from aristocratic families, as long as they think it's worth it, no matter how expensive things are, they are worth buying.

The charm of fairy rice, even Gu Yun, who has eaten it all over the country, finds it delicious, how can others refuse it.

Next, the two discussed some details.

The first batch of [-] catties will be sent to major cities in various states and counties in batches. The target audience is those famous families, aristocratic families, rich officials and wealthy households. I believe that in a short period of time, Immortal Rice will definitely be popular in the entire dynasty.

The price of energy gene rice is tentatively set at ten taels a catty, while the price of Baiwei gene rice is 20 taels a catty.

And the name, of course, is no longer named after the genetic rice, but the immortal rice that is circulated in the city, the rice that only immortals are entitled to enjoy.

Qin Yuan also knew that the price of genetic rice could not always be so high.

Scarcity is the most expensive thing, and the first batch may be sold at an unimaginably high price, but as the genetic rice continues to be sent to the market, and people's curiosity for novelty dissipates, the price will drop steadily.

Of course, as long as the price ratio between genetic rice and ordinary rice differs by more than ten times, Qin Yuan can make huge profits from it.

Qin Yuan didn't care about how much real money he could earn, as long as he could maintain a stable transaction with the main world.

On the contrary, it attaches great importance to collecting a large amount of grain from all over China, and lists it as an important strategic goal.

The troubled times have come, and the importance of food is self-evident, and all the food in the world will be collected by Qin Yuan.

When the real war was fought, the princes were dumbfounded. If you want money but have no money, and if you want food but no food, what is the use of a large territory? You can't let your soldiers drink the northwest wind.

Before the civil unrest occurred, the mutiny occurred first.

"Then the trade routes must be reopened, and the robbers inside and outside Mingwu City must be cleared away."

Gu Yun thought that the business of Immortal Rice would spread all over the country, and that the Gu family would become a famous business family of strong men, his whole heart jumped out, and it took a long time before he regained his composure.

"I have planned this for a long time. Starting tomorrow, I will let the army go out to eradicate the robbers' strongholds within the sphere of influence of Mingwu City, no matter how big or small they are."

"That's fine."

"Master Gu, the county magistrate trusts you very much, don't let me down."

Qin Yuan stood up, patted Gu Yunduan on the shoulder as if he were a subordinate, and then greeted Bai Qi to leave.

"."

Gu Yunyun sighed slightly, shook his head, and after a long time, smiled again, not knowing what he was thinking.
